Hi ,
Me and my husband are Indians and we are on a work permit . We have just filled up our express entry profile two days ago and have booked our appointment for medical examination.
Regarding PCC,
Do we have to go to the Indian embassy to get this done ?
I’m just not having a clear idea of what steps should be taken?
It will be really helpful if somebody could explain the steps precisely
Regarding background checks?

For PCC - Form are available on BLS-International website and you can submit the completed forms, fee and passport in nearest BLS office (check their website for office locations). You will get it in around 5 to 10 business days.
You don’t need RCMP unless it’s requested by CIC once you submit your PR application after getting ITA. If you want to do it upfront, check this link.

If you are in Toronto you can go to CGi and get the PCC in a days notice, morning submission afternoon collection https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/information-get-indian-pcc-in-one-day-canada-only.469878/

You don't need RCMP upfront, but if you have already spent more than six months in the country, I would suggest go and do the RCMP in one go and submit along with the application. Saves time....
In case you are in Mississauga, you can look at: https://www.redsealnotary.com/ for the RCMP fingerprinting.
RCMP send the PCC by mail in a week or 10 days max(if everything is OK)

Then I would highly recommend the RCMP PCC upfront to save time on your application
For PCC from CGI there is one form to get emergency PCC
Along with that which more forms and documents are required?
They said you also need to make a draft in the name of cgi
